It is alleged Sheikh used to doubt his wife about having an extra marital affair. Begum who worked in a factory in Thakurpukur often used to receive video calls from her husband to prove that she is at her workplace. In the evening, he used to pick up Begum from her workplace and return home.On Wednesday night, Sheikh returned home alone. When some of his neighbours asked him about Begum, Sheikh reportedly said that due to some dispute over personal issues, they had an altercation and thus his wife did not come.
